Livingstone doesn't hold elected office.
Not public office, but isn't he still on Labour's NEC?
He is a vile man, why on Earth does Corbyn give him a platform?
When Livingstone, an extremely prominent politician in virtue of having held senior elected office, wants to say something in public, he'll have the attention of the press, it's as simple as that, and he'll have it for some time to come.
I can't possibly imagine that he cleared this with Corbyn. He's just been a loose cannon lately. Didn't Corbyn remove him from heading up the defence review, or at least reduce his role?

Livingstone now claiming the entire thing is an Israeli conspiracy and justifying Shah's comments through Hitler's policies. You couldn't make this stuff up. Livingstone doesn't hold elected office. He is a vile man, why on Earth does Corbyn give him a platform?
